Houston Advocate helps 92-year-old get gun back Self defense from today's front page. Cindy George, Houston Chronicle By Cindy George Updated 11:52 p.m., Friday, April 6, 2012 Jack Hands, 92, lost custody of his pistol when he fatally shot a younger man who threatened him. He was cleared in the shooting, but it took police a couple of years to return the revolver. Photo: Brett Coomer / © 2012 Houston Chronicle A few years ago, when Jack Hands was just 90, he fatally shot a much-younger man who threatened him during an altercation. Authorities confiscated two weapons involved in the 2010 fray at Hands' northeast Houston home. A Harris County grand jury reviewed the case, clearing the World War II-era veteran in September of one murder count and a possession of a prohibited weapon charge.

Hands is particularly attached to the heirloom shotgun that he carried growing up in Georgia "to keep meat on the table and protect the family," he said.
